Inso Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I seem to remember a Codex entry for the heavy weapon teams in a platoon being able to have a Chimera as a transport option (may have been steel legion?) Am I correct or am I imagining it? I have always been confused by the fact that, as standard, a heavy weapon squad can't take a Chimera as a transport option. It seems obvious to me that a Chimera would be necessary to transport the unit at the same speed as the rest of a mechanised platoon's infantry... and carry the ammunition for the heavy weapons. My army will include them for my HW squads (even if they are just for show) but I am wondering if there has been an option in the past? I am sure there was... :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327229-chimeras-for-heavy-weapon-squads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I like your imagination - as with SWSs they're left out in the cold :( I don't think has been an option, even outside of a Platoon.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I know that the HWS in the Armored battlegroup FW list from IA1.2 take chimeras. But then all infantry in that list must take a transport. Also the ABG list doesn't have platoons, but still...

Inso Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 It may have been one of the traits... 'mechanised' from an earlier edition... ... I could, of course, be going completely mad :D!

Inso Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Yay! Found it... it was the 'mechanised' doctrine from Rev 4 (?) of 40K... ... Every foot unit must have a Chimera, even if they don't usually have one.
